A postdoctoral position is available in the Vision and Memory Lab of Dr. Timothy Brady (http://bradylab.ucsd.edu/). The lab is based in the UCSD Department of Psychology. Initial appointment is for one year, with flexible start date and opportunity for renewal.
The lab’s research lies at the intersection of visual cognition and memory. Particular research topics include the nature of visual working memory capacity, the format of visual long-term memory representations, and the relationship between ensemble statistics and scene recognition. We use a variety of methodologies in the lab, including psychophysics, computational modeling (connectionist, Bayesian, information theoretic) and EEG.
We are seeking highly qualified individuals with a recent or soon-to-be-acquired Ph.D. in a relevant field (e.g., Psychology, Neuroscience, Cognitive Science, Computer Science), strong quantitative and technical skills, and interests in visual cognition, visual perception and/or memory. Experience with computational modeling and/or EEG is highly desirable. Proficiency in programming is necessary (e.g. Matlab, Python, Javascript, or R).
Interested candidates should send a CV, a brief statement of research interests, the expected date of availability, and the names and contact info of at least two references to ude.dscu|ydarbmit#ude.dscu|ydarbmit.
Salary is based on research experience. UCSD is an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, status as a protected veteran, or status as a qualified individual with a disability.
